Default WTF is this turbo????

I have a turbo laying around that i thought was a t04b, but as I'm reading further into it I've hit a point where it's all confusion. So maybe some fancy turbo expert will chime in and save the day ? Here's all the specs I could get off it, keep in mind the dim's could vary slightly as I used a tape.... Thanks for the help!

Compressor: (m10) AiResearch t04, with m9 backplate and an A stamped below it
.60 a/r
3” inlet
2” outlet
54mm wheel inducer
70mm wheel exducer
Trim: 60

Journal bearing center housing, with y9 and a 4 stamped on it.

Turbine: t6 (4.5” x 2.75” divided flange)
1.15 a/r
2.75” exhaust outlet
63.5mm wheel exducer
73mm wheel inducer
Trim: 76

holy ----!!!! a t6 turbo inlet flange? theres no way that can be a t04b. where did you get the turbo from? that big of an exhaust housing is usually for diesel applications. post pics of it.

I bought it from this dude who always came into the parts store I worked at. He didn't know anything about it, he just got it off someone he knew and wanted to get rid of it, so I took it for $75. It's been sitting for almost 2 years since I had no use for it, and now that I'm in the midst of a project, it's intriguing me. I originally assumed it had a t4 turbine, but when it came down to measuring it's definitely a t6 flange! So any info on this, since it has no nomenclature tag, would be incredible.

haven't gone away from that, was just curious how this would stack up. either way, the compressor on this doesn't seem efficient for my power goal anyway. that's why i was looking into compressor changes. t70 is by far my choice once im not poor.

see if you can sell it and use the money towards a t70.
